FYI channel

  I am at a total loss about this channel. It used to be the Biography Channel. The name changed to FYI, andCOX decided to package it in a Sports and Information Package. FYI in this case meant "For Your Inspiration"....look at the programming...it's not informational, it's entertainment. No idea why it's in the S&I package.

  Anyway, in September, I had suddenly had access to FYI...until the end of October, when I had to unplug my cable box to have new carpeting installed. When I plugged the box back in, FYI was no longer accessible. What gives? I haven't changed my service in several years.

The History Channel, HGTV, and DIY are not on the S&I package, and FYI doesn't belong there either.

Hi Tonto7,

The placement of programming channels such as FYI is dictated by the terms of our agreements with those programmers. What happens when you tune to FYI? Are you getting an error message on the screen?

  I now get the screen that says I have to contact COX to get access to FYI. I have no interest in anything in the S&I package, except for FYI, and I did get it for about two months, Sept - Oct 2016 without the S&I package.

Yes, it is. But it's only in the Sports and Information Package. That's the whole point of this post. Ther's no reason for it to be in that package.

FYI has always in the S&i tier in Omaha and the I stands for Information sop why shouldn't be in the S&I pack?
